In 1996, Strauss moved into a flat in Sarajevo, where he covered the aftermath of the Bosnian War, the war in Kosovo and finally the overthrow of Milosevic. At the Alaska World Affairs Council, Strauss spoke on Independence for Kosovo: Why the west chose to support the move and what it means for relations with Russia.
